I'm aiming to contribute to the UK Waterways Project. I'm not really au fait with Wikipedia though, so I'll be learning as I go along...

I've worked on the articles: Montgomery Canal; Ellesmere Canal; Llangollen Canal. It's my personal mission to get them 'A' rated articles at WikiProject_UK_Waterways/Assessment.

Creating Waterways Routemaps
My beginners guide to creating routemaps for canals.

1. Open Template:Waterways_legend in a new window - you'll use this for reference.

2. Work in a sandbox on your userpage initially.

3. Pick a default name for your map, then add the following 3 lines:

|}

7. When you are happy with your routemap, copy the code and go to Category:Waterway_routemap_templates

8. Create a new article with a name of the same syntax as the existing templates.

9. Paste the code to your new article, and add a new line with the text:

UK-waterway-routemap

10. On the pages where you wish to use your template, enter the code:

The name of the template is as you specified in step 8. This method allows you to use the same template in more than one place with different titles.

If you find a need for an icon which doesn't exist, you can create it yourself or request it at Template talk:Waterways legend
